Scan a whole stack of checks (after Shabbos, after an appeal)
A fast routine for a pile of checks: photograph, upload in groups of 25, confirm each, and take them to the bank.
- 1
Photograph the checks
Lay each check flat on a dark table in good light. One check per photo, the whole check in the picture.
Upload the photos here. - 2
Upload 25 at a time
Record → "Scan checks" → choose up to 25 photos → "Upload & read". More than 25? Do the next 25 after these.
Up to 25 at a time. - 3
Work top to bottom
"… to confirm" shows how many are left. For each: check the person and amount, pick the campaign, press Record.

Watch the red notes
"This same photo was uploaded before" or "Check #… may already be recorded" — Skip it unless it's really a different check. If it is, tick "Not a duplicate — it's a different check".
- 5
Take them to the bank
Open Giving → "Deposits". The recorded checks wait there. Make the deposit there when you go to the bank.
Recorded checks wait under Deposits.
Tips
- Prefer typing? Record → "Batch of checks" lets you enter a stack in one table without photos.
- Keep the paper checks in the same order as you record them — easier to find one later.
- Add a campaign to every check from an appeal so the appeal's totals are right.
If something isn't working
"Check #… looks like it was already recorded (…)".
Open the linked gift to compare. If it's a different check, tick "Not a duplicate" and Record again.
"Choose who the check is from".
Pick the person before pressing Record.
"Already recorded".
